Abstract.

Let be a domain. In 2007 Hencl, Koskela and Onninen proved that if is a homeomorphism of bounded variation then so does its inverse map . In this paper we present a different proof giving precise formulae for the total variations of the coordinate functions of , that is,

As an application, we prove that weak*-compactness in BV holds simultaneously for sequences of BV-homeomorphisms fj and their inverses ; this symmetry result fails in the setting of bi-Sobolev mappings. We also deduce by the above formulae a slight generalization of a recent theorem of Iwaniec and Onninen on the existence a.e. of a right inverse of weak limit of -homeomorphisms. Extensions to higher dimension are given.
